City Women Dismiss Head Coach Gareth Taylor Ahead of League Cup Final

The club parts ways with Taylor after a challenging season, with former coach Nick Cushing stepping in as interim manager.

Gareth Taylor has been sacked as Manchester City Women's head coach just five days before the League Cup final against Chelsea.
The decision follows City's underwhelming performance in the Women's Super League, where they sit fourth, 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.
City's managing director, Charlotte O'Neill, stated that the move aims to revitalize the team's bid for UEFA Women's Champions League qualification next season.
Nick Cushing, who previously managed City from 2014 to 2020, will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season.
Taylor, who had been in charge since 2020, led City to FA Cup and League Cup victories but struggled to maintain consistent results this season.
